Answer

$\frac{4}{5}$

Work Step by Step

To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value in the numerator. Set the denominator to a multiple of ten, corresponding to the rightmost place value, in the case tenths. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor. $\frac{8}{10}=\frac{8\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{4}{5}$
